In the script, the wife who gets slapped for being hysterical was only supposed to be slapped by one person. The actress herself came up with the idea of having a line of people waiting with increasingly more lethal weapons and brought it to the director, who loved the gag and filmed it instead.

The scene was spoofed from the same type of scene from "Airport" with Dean Martin and a star studded cast back in 1970. By the time this movie came out there were several disaster movies with the "Airport" title.......it kinda got old back then. But they did have a lot of big stars in them.

Also, a joke that I got the first time, but missed for about the next 40 years -- the nun tells the doctor, "you're wanted on the phone." In 1980, this would have been as likely as telling someone on a plane, "they need you in surgery." There were very much no phones on planes, so this diversion was a very minor joke that I just rediscovered.

Now everyone's familiar with these genre parody films, but back then, this was groundbreaking for it's originality. It was unlike anything anyone had seen. Peter Graves, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges (father of actors Jeff and Beau Bridges) were all accomplished dramatic actors at this point. Leslie Nielsen, too, had had a long successful career as a dramatic actor through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, before finding a second career for a younger audience as a comedic actor in the 80s and 90s. You can also see him in the Naked Gun movies, and the short-lived tv show they were based on, Police Squad. The old woman who spoke jive was Barbara Billingsley, who played the mother in the quintessential 50s-60s family sitcom Leave it to Beaver. That really was Ethel Merman in the hospital. This was her last movie role. She died a few years later. The two airport workers who sent the plane crashing into the airport were played by David and Larry Zucker, two of the writers and directors of the movie, and the makeup lady was played by their mom, Charlotte. I'm impressed- Not many reactors recognize Jimmie Walker as the airplane mechanic, and you're the first one I've seen who recognized David Leisure, who played Joe Isuzu in the commercials.

There’s a joke about every 10 seconds in this movie. If you talk, you will miss a joke. Prior to Airplane, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen were all dramatic actors. This was their first comedy. “Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!)[5] is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by the brothers David and Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams in their directorial debuts,[6] and produced by Jon Davison. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson.[6] It is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, from which it borrows its plot and central characters,[7] also drawing many elements from Airport 1975 and other films in the Airport series. It is known for its use of surreal humor and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, running jokes, and obscure humor.”

Walker from Good Times who was the airplane mechanic checking the oil. And Kareem Abdul Jabber the really tall black pilot. If Toney cries during this one, I just don't know what to say. LOL. The little girl with the IV was on a ton of Love Boat episodes. Leslie Neilson was the Doctor and he always played serious detective type roles and was most famously the main character in the old sci fi classic movie "Forbidden Planet." Then later in the Naked Gun movies were he basically plays an expanded version of this character. The old guy that was always picking a bad week to quit something is Lloyd Bridges. Maybe the biggest star in the movie. He is Jeff and Beaux Bridges' dad and a big star from the 50-s60's.. Kramer is Robert Stack. Most famously from the "Untouchables" tv series from the 60's.

Most people don't recognize that Howard Jarvis is the guy in the cab either. Or that a woman throws her baby in the air and runs away when the plane comes through the airport window (3:26).

First reactor not to nearly fall off their seat laughing at the little girl’s “like my men” line. But, love that Toni tries to get outside her comfort zone of Easy Company men getting blown up. 😂 Also love that we finally have reactors who pick up on the Yuban coffee ad; Mrs. Cleaver; JJ from Good Times, etc. Toni asked if this is why they stopped serving meals - no, meals are still served, at least in biz and first class and often for sale in coach. BUT apparently, the FAA was asked after the movie came out if they had protocols to avoid all the pilots being felled by food poisoning - and they didn’t. So since then many airlines require that flight crews have different meals from each other.

This is my FAVORITE comedy! I loved David's reaction to this. I always laugh just as much now as I did back then. David's reaction got me laughing so much my hubby had to come in the room to see what was so funny. When he saw what I was watching, he sat down & watched with me. We quote this movie often. Thanks for reacting to this!! BTW - I have the perfect love story for Toni. It's light, funny & a real love story....50 First Dates. She'll love it! It's got Drew Barrymore & Adam Sandler in it. Comedy for you too, David.
